Gibbs, left, head of the Love Canal Homeowners Association, talks with a police officer in Niagara Falls, N.Y., before she and six other persons were arrested on disorderly conduct charges. Gibbs, led the charge for the 1970s evacuation of the contaminated Love Canal neighborhood and warned against resettling the area. She recently returned to mark the 35th anniversary of the disaster. "It was so weird to go back and stand next to someone who was crying and saying the exact same thing I said 35 years ago," she said. (AP Photo/BEN, File)
